Whenever we test a printer, there are two things on the basis of which, we judge a printer- the speed and quality. It is always appreciated when the mileage of any cartridge is longer, so that we do not have to change the cartridges again and again. It is always advised by Canon to shut down your printer properly after the use as it helps to save ink from drying up inside the nozzles.

One thing that falls on the negative side of the printer is that it does not have an option of back to back printing, as it does not have a duplexer. So you have to flip the paper manually every time you have to print back to back Canon Ij Setup PIXMA G2000.

As far as the speed is concerned, it is quite fast in normal office and home printing. A full page of colour printing takes about 2-3 seconds in high quality settings. It is a pretty decent speed for the price, and most of the good inkjet printers of this range take almost the same amount of time.

Considering the photo printing experience, it can print border-less photos in different sizes – A4, 4 x 6″ / 5 x 7″ (album) or 8 x 10″. You can use glossy papers to print photos, and the quality of photos is really good. The colour reproduction is impressive; it may not be as good as the photo printers but still does a commendable job.

It takes 14-15 seconds to setup after it is turned on, and almost half minute to print on the first command. Once you have started printing, it takes less than 6 seconds in continuous printing.
